“Matilda The Musical” composer Tim Minchin is teaming with Chris Miller to co-direct the animal rock ‘n’ roll musical which was originally scheduled to open February 16th 2018 but will now likely go forward on a new date with Universal Pictures expected to handle the distribution.

“Larrikins,” an Aussie slang for term for ‘maverick’, follows a desert-dwelling bilby who goes on a road trip with a band in the Australian Outback. Harry Cripps penned the project which is being produced by Gregg Taylor.
